Situated on Saint-Paul Street in Old Montreal, Buvette Nicole looks to thoughtfully interpret the French bistro experience. The menu balances classic and contemporary takes on the source material with dishes like beef tartare with truffle aioli, grilled octopus with a orange-mango salsa, and racks of lamb. The decor pays some homage to the elegance of Parisian cafes, and that means it's geared towards both leisurely meals and special occasions. There's also an array of natural wines, classic cocktails, and local microbrews to complement the menu.
